Pause means the scheduler doesn't assign new tasks to the node, but existing tasks remain running. Drain means the scheduler doesn't assign new tasks to the node. The scheduler shuts down any existing tasks and schedules them on an available node.\n\nThe MANAGER STATUS column shows node participation in the Raft consensus\n\nNo value indicates a worker node that does not participate in swarm management. Leader means the node is the primary manager node that makes all swarm management and orchestration decisions for the swarm. Reachable means the node is a manager node participating in the Raft consensus quorum. If the leader node becomes unavailable, the node is eligible for election as the new leader. Unavailable means the node is a manager that can't communicate with other managers. If a manager node becomes unavailable, you should either join a new manager node to the swarm or promote a worker node to be a manager.\n\nFor more information on swarm administration refer to the Swarm administration guide.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
